Dear Diary,
I'M HERE!! I'M HERE!!
I don't remember what happened in the last week. The last thing I remember is that Katrina ( the fortune teller ) was in town.As the great person I am who fully believes in science, I had her check my fortune to see what I could do to make me lucky. You know because I had a theory and I needed to test it. She said I needed to wear a dress for good luck but dresses really clash my style so I wasn't doing that.
I walked outside of the tent and then everything went black.
Then I was back on that island I dream about. It was cheery blossom season and I was able to catch the petals. They were so bright pink. I thought it was odd because generally you see cherry blossoms in April and not May, but I didn't think too much about it because everyone I talked to said how warm it was for April. Apparently I was friends with Ione and really she was just like Marshall. She was so pretty and so fun to talk to. She helped me catch a ton of cherry blossoms and together we made a cherry blossom pochette.
My house was so pretty. I had a basement that was made up like an aquarium and an attic that was completely made for Thanksgiving. And I don't mean like the things Franklin normally has where everything is all purple. This Thanksgiving stuff was actually fall colored and looked really nice. It was such a relaxing room. The other rooms were equally as realizing and one of them even had all the mermaid items!
OH! And the island was almost completely filled! It was far different from the barren island I first dreamed about. It was now a vast city-scape complete with a country area and a forest. There was glowing moss and so many different flowers, though it seemed like windflowers were the most prominent.
Waterfalls were almost everywhere and gyroids ran the stalls in the vendor area. All the villagers looked so happy and I even saw a couple taking time to have a picnic on the beach.
No one called me mayor either. They all acted like I was just one of them. There was also no hair salon, shoe store, or club. The museum was still there but it wasn't like the one at home. It was filled with all sorts of fish and bugs. It was like I had caught everything there was to catch. I watched the fish for a while before I continued exploring the island.
Everyday though was like a different season. One day it was cherry blossoms and the next there were mushrooms everywhere. There was also a time I walked out and it was snowing. No one seemed bothered by it at all. Even I wasn't really bothered by it. One moment I would think that it was odd but then it was like..normal I guess? It was like that thought where you notice things are a bit odd but you push that thought aside like it's nothing.
I became such good friends with Ione, Bob, and Molly. Everyday was a new adventure and they were so nice to me. It wasn't like it was hard being friends with them like it is for villagers in my town. Everything was just...natural and easy.
It was a really bittersweet experience. I really felt like I had been there my whole life and felt like I belonged.
Honestly, it wasn't until I met another human that I realized I was not actually living on the island. She had blue hair and was wearing a swimsuit. I noticed her coming out of the ocean, clearly after a dive and I dunno why but I waved at her. She kind of looked at me weirdly like she was unsure of what I was doing there. Eventually she did come up to me though and her only words were “ you're not supposed to be here”.
It was very confusing for me, but after she said that I noticed that everything started to feel kind of fake. I kept hearing someone telling me to wake up too. The voice got louder and louder until I woke up, in my bed with Sly and Clay sitting by me worried.
I asked them how I got back from the island and they told me that I had actually been asleep for a week because I had a particularly nasty fall from a pitfall. Luckily for me, Raddle a doctor, had moved into town and had been keeping an eye on me. He said it was really good that my mind stayed active the whole time so there wasn't likely to be too much to worry about in the future, but I dunno. That island dream felt so real....
I could have also sworn Ione also called that blue haired lady Finn as well. I wonder if that was a multiverse version of me and that somehow the pitfall caused me to somehow transfer myself into that universe. If that's the case, did that version of me discover time travel? Is that why the seasons changed so drastically?
Honestly, the whole thing has kind of left me shaken. Raddle said I shouldn't be trying to move to much and that I should try to get as much rest as possible. I guess I could be using this time to see if anything from that dream is real in this world. I dunno there is just so much to process and my head hurts from thinking about it. Though I guess that could also be from the fall...
Regardless of the cause, there will be more to come!
